Activity FAQs
Do sails sell out frequently?
Availability is limited. Guests are encouraged to book as early as possible.
What happens if the sail is sold out?
Unfortunately, we do not have a wait-list for our sails, so please book in advance. We do sail 7 days a week!
Is there parking, where? And how much is it?
Parking in Key West is very limited, and operates on a first come, first serve basis. There are several local municipal parking lots in the area. Further information will be provided upon purchasing your tickets.
Do I need a ticket for my young child?
All passengers, regardless of age, must have a ticket for capacity purposes. Children ages 2 and younger ride for free on all of our trips. Please select a free "Infant" ticket when purchasing your tickets. Children over the age are eligible for a "Child" priced ticket.
What exactly do we see on the sail?
Our sailing route is dependent on the wind, and at the discretion of the captain, but we guarantee crystal green seas and a waterfront view of downtown Key West. Additional sites include Sand Key Reef, Mallory Square, Sunset Pier, marine wild life, and fellow schooners within the Key West fleet. We may also be lucky enough to catch the magnificent "Green Flash" (just as the sun is about to disappear from the horizon, it changes for a moment to a bright green color).
Is food served during the sails?
Yes! We serve complimentary hors d'oeuvres, including cheese and crackers, veggie and dip, and shrimp cocktail.
How about drinks? Should I bring those?
Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted. This romantic sunset sail features complimentary champagne, wine, beer, soft drinks, and water. (One quick note: We are not a unlimited booze-cruise. We aim to create an elegant, relaxing, peaceful, and safe experience for all of our guests.) Cocktails are available for purchase.
Is the Schooner America 2.0 safe?
Absolutely. While known for its speed, the Schooner America 2.0 is a safe and gentle vessel. Along with your captain, there is a minimum of two crew members on every sail to make sure you feel comfortable and at home on the water. We are stocked with water, beverages, blankets, pillows, and life jackets should you feel you need one. There are also private marine heads (bathrooms) in the salon below.
How steady is the sailing? Am I likely to get seasick?
The Schooner America 2.0 is a steady, gentle vessel. It is very rare for our guests to become seasick. While most people do not experience any sea sickness on the schooner, you may want to consider light medication if you normally take it for motion sickness. We cannot officially advise you to take any medication, however.
Is there a bathroom on the boat?
Yes, the boat is equipped with two bathrooms that are accessible at all times. We call them "marine heads," and they are very simple to use. The Captain will explain directions for their use once you are on board the vessel.
Can I stow anything (eg, my luggage) during the sail?
There is an area below deck where you may store your belongings. Please keep in mind that this area is not guarded, so we cannot take responsibility for any broken, lost or missing items.
What should I wear?
For our sunset sail we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and footwear (high heels are not recommended). Feel free to come in light, casual clothing, but bring a light jacket just in case, especially since we'll be out on the water in the evening!
Where does the sail finish?
Our sails will end at the same dock from which they departed.
Do you ever cancel sails due to bad weather?
The sail usually runs in light rain and other moderate weather situations. The only time we cancel a trip is in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions. Our captains monitor the radar to watch fronts and cells in the area on days when inclement weather is possible. Cancellations are made on the day of the sail, by the Captain, up to one hour prior to sail time. If you have purchased tickets for a sail that is canceled, you will have the opportunity to reschedule your tickets (subject to availability), take a full refund or receive credit towards a future event.
What happens if it starts raining when we're out on our sail?
Don't worry, we won't melt! Trips with a little added excitement due to weather have proven to be some the most memorable bonding experiences for our guests. (This all depends on attitude of course...) Our captains will never take the boat off the dock if they believe the weather conditions to be unsafe, however, and are constantly monitoring the weather once off the dock.
Is the schooner wheelchair accessible?
No, unfortunately America 2.0 is not wheelchair-accessible.
What to Bring
Bring your camera for some great on board sailing shots!
All guests are welcome to bring a picnic on any sail.
What Not to Bring
Personal alcoholic beverages are not allowed on board. We serve complimentary beer, wine, champagne, soda & water on our sunset sails. Mixed drinks are available for purchase.
Changes to reservations for tickets can be made until 4 days prior to the date scheduled. Reservations may be re-scheduled by the operator of the activity due to reasons such as weather, minimum participation requirements, mechanical issues or other interruptions beyond their control.
All gift certificate sales are final and not refundable. Gift certificates can only be exchanged prior to redemption.
